Indian Fort Outpost (Landmark)
Indian Fort Outpost is our central property, a historic landmark in Berea, Kentucky, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural history. This site will serve as the heart of Unify Co-Op's programs, offering space for outdoor recreation, environmental education, and cooperative activities. By protecting this land, we’re preserving both its natural beauty and its historical significance for future generations.
Carbon Credit Program for Landowners
Through our Sustainable Landscapes Carbon Credit Program, landowners with rich, biodiverse landscapes can participate in a unique opportunity to claim carbon credit assets by mitigating emissions through sustainable land management. By preserving forests, planting trees, and managing land responsibly, landowners can generate carbon credits, which can be sold in the carbon marketplace—helping the environment while providing financial benefits to the landowner.
